We live in what might be considered the most distasteful and darkest times of American history; save 400 years of slavery and the abject brutal discrimination of anyone of â€œcolorâ€. The Shrub legacy had already been defined in the first two years of his presidency, and continues to the nth degree in the three years that has followed. It is incredulous to many that the blatant disregard for liberty and human life is so widely accepted in the wake of the September 11thattacks on the U.S continues unabated- the ease that trifles such as the tens of thousands of Iraqi deaths and the continuous kidnapping, torture and assassination of non-combatants in the war against â€œterrorâ€ are totally disregarded in the name of â€œfreedomâ€ and â€œsafetyâ€. And that is just speaking of acts committed by the U.S. side; not even considering the â€œinsurgencyâ€.

We have to acknowledge, although you wont find nary a mention in all mainstream and even in many of the alternative presses; that the willingness to shoot, kill or maim anyone deemed as a â€œpossible threatâ€ is an acceptable practice and is being carried out with â€œextreme prejudice.â€
